Functional Medicine and the ROR: Return on Relationships (Part II) with Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum

<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Quote:</strong> <em>“88% of adult Americans are considered metabolically unhealthy. Those are shocking statistics, and it’s increasing.”</em> <strong>Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Functional medicine is a more patient-centred approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying the cause of the disease and not just treating symptoms with pharmaceuticals. It looks at the patient’s history and gathers information to try to find the underlying cause of the illness. Functional medicine is, thankfully, becoming much more mainstream. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum to share her experience and thoughts on why functional medicine is a better solution for combating chronic disease and lowering healthcare costs.  </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series.
